I believe in freedom of speech and freedom of the press, but I must post a strong complaint. Your article “Religion & Art” about Mark Bryan’s painting had several unacceptable parts. In particular, the picture of the “Madonna-like figure” was over the top. And you had to make it the biggest one in the paper. This kind of article creates hatred, disappointment and division. It’s fine to have lively discussion. But we have enough division in this country at the moment due to the political stuff going on. We need unifying stuff, not hate-generating stuff.
